3 Falls An event which results in a person coming to rest inadvertently on the ground or floor or other lower level (WHO 2009)
4 Queensland hospitals ,928 fall-related clinical incidents Falls burden 2,205 falls resulting in injury among patients aged over 65 years (80%) Rate: 0.79 in-hospital falls in this age group per 1,000 patient days. Most result in non-fracture injuries (84%) or fracture (16%); 493 resulted in death Most reported falls were not witnessed by staff (80%) Most occurred during walking or sitting to standing activities Most occurred in bathroom or bedside areas Most occurred in early morning or late afternoon Most involved patients with delerium, dementia, neurodegenerative diseases, extreme frailty Falls and fall-related injuries in acute hospitals Account for 80% of PRIME incidents in general medicine units In a department of 70 beds about 2-4 falls a day Incur complications Fractures, injury Post-fall syndrome Loss of morale among clinical staff Litigation and complaints Prolonged length of stay
5 Falls burden Total hospital costs for falls were assessed in 2001 as $54 million costs projected to quadruple in the next 40 to 50 years Taking into account all costs including general practitioners, residential aged care facilities, specialists and pharmacy, projected costs set to increase to $320 million by 2051 Queensland hospitals already spend more than twice as much on the treatment of falls in older people than on victims of road traffic crashes Moller. New Directions in Health and Safety. Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing, Canberra, National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards Standard 10: Preventing falls and harm from falls
6 Challenges What causes falls (risk factors) What can be done to prevent or reduce falls from occurring How to minimise any damage that may result from a fall eg. hip protectors, softer flooring What s the best way is to rehabilitate a person after a fall
7 Whole of system approach Oliver et al Clin Geriatr Med 2010
8 Causative factors Clinical factors Confusion, delerium, dementia Impaired balance, gait Reduced muscle strength; malnutrition Slowed reaction time Poor vision Polypharmacy, especially cardiovascular and CNS drugs Depression Incontinence, poor toileting regimens Inappropriate footwear Environmental hazards Unstable furniture Inappropriate use of bed rails Cluttered areas Inadequate lighting Slippery/wet floors Restraints, IV drips, IDCs Most falls are preventable
9 Assessing falls risk Clinical judgement Myers & Nikoletti Int J Nurs Pract 2003
10 Assessing falls risk Formal risk prediction tools (~35) STRATIFY and MFS are best validated Various modifications Must be accurate, reliable, quick and easy to use, no discomfort Risk assessment method Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV STRATIFY 1 67% 51% 23% 94% Modified STRATIFY 2 Nurse judgment 3 65% 79% 23% 86% 84% 38% 12% 96% 1. Oliver et al Age Ageing Barker et al J Adv Nurs Webster et al J Clin Epidemiol 2010 Reliability fair for modified STRATIFY; poor otherwise
11 Preventive strategies Nurse-driven Educate patients/carers in falls risk Regular toileting Regular rounding Supervise mobility Buzzers within reach and explained Lower bed to lowest level Keep curtains open Keep patient visual at all times Activate bed alarms Nurse Priorities
12 Preventive strategies MDT Assess eyesight, ensure glasses/visual aids are available, undertake eyewear cleaning Request pharmacist to conduct medication reviews Request podiatrist to conduct foot health checks and safe shoe reviews Request physiotherapist to conduct balance check, promote walking if safe, organise a Tai Chi or Otago Exercise Programme Ask volunteers/family/carers to take patients for walks Request occupational therapists to perform hazard check Request medical staff to assess for risk factors, remove IDCs and IV lines unless absolutely necessary, assess and reverse factors provoking delerium Educate family/carers on how to reduce falls risk Queensland Stay On Your Feet BeSafe brochures
13 Risk assessment and management
14 Evidence of effectiveness Cochrane review of fall prevention in hospitals and nursing homes (Cameron et al 2012) 41 trials; 25,422 participants Multifactorial interventions in hospitals Reduced rate of falls RR=0.69 ( ) (4 trials; 4512 participants) Reduced risk of falling RR=0.73 ( ) (3 trials; 4824 participants) Supervised exercise interventions Reduced risk of falling RR=0.44 ( ) (3 trials; 131 participants) Educational session by a trained research nurse targeting individual fall risk factors in patients at high risk of falling in acute medical wards Reduced risk of falling RR = 0.29 ( 0.11 to 0.74) (1 trial; 1206 participants) Multidisciplinary care in geriatric ward after hip fracture surgery vs usual care in an orthopaedic ward Reduced rate of falls RR 0.38 (0.19 to 0.74) Reduced risk of falling RR 0.41 (0.20 to 0.83) (1 trial, 199 participants) 12 of 41 trials (11,488 of 25,422; 45%) had positive effects No data on fall-related injuries No cost-effectiveness analyses
15 Multifactorial intervention Why no effect? Short LOS Too little time to change culture by researchers Restricted coverage 8am-4pm Contamination in control wards No blinding of intervention status
16 Low low beds JAGS 2010 Why no effect? Too few low-low beds (1:12) Poor targeting of patients Beds not used appropriately
17 More nursing staff Cross-sectional analysis of routinely collected data from 8069 nursing units in 1361 US hospitals within National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators Staggs, Dutton Int J Qual Health Care 2014 Increasing non-rn nursing staff associated with increased fall rate Step-down unit Acute medical unit
18 Falls or fall-related injuries Vic public hospitals Various interventions Brand, Sundurarajan Qual Saf Health Care 2010 Fall rate Single hospital 6-PACK program Fall injury rate Barker et al Qual Saf Health Care 2009
19 Variations in fall rates 8915 nursing units (1994 critical care, 1328 step-down, 1663 medical, 1279 surgical, 2217 medical-surgical, and 434 rehabilitation units) in 1171 hospitals He et al Med Care 2012

22 Making fall reduction everybody s concern and commitment Engage Enable Enforce At the level of clinical microsystems and individual clinicians In ways that are simple, routine, consistent and measurable
23 Engage Why should I worry about this? Falls are common but serious injuries are rare But they can be devastating (clinical narratives) Falls are inevitable Most are predictable and preventable Our fall rates are no worse than anywhere else Considerable variation between wards/hospitals There are many other things that take priority Preventing falls has now become an institutional priority Only the quality folk or the falls co-ordinator get fired up about this, not the people at the coalface But there must be reasons why the former have passion around this This is not something that I can influence as an individual (it s a system problem) But preventing injury reflects a caring approach and we collectively are the system
24 Engage Present the facts around fall burden and its causes Showcase best achievers and what they have done Create a sense of professional discomfort with current state of play Assess readiness to change and ascertain barriers to change Identify folk motivated to change who can influence others clinical leads, champions, advocates Take heed of legitimate criticisms of those not so keen Develop interventions compatible with busy, real-world practice Communicate clearly what is being proposed - how, who, when Trial interventions openly with the foot soldiers (proof of concept)
25 Engage Intervention development 3 phases Phase 1: qualitative inquiry to identify barriers and facilitators to fall risk knowledge and actions Focus groups: 23 nurses and 19 nurse assistants Dykes et al J Nurs Admin 2009; 39:
26 Enable Consider actions that individuals feel they have the time, skills and desire to make Walk in their shoes a day in the life of KISSS: keep it simple, sensible, specific DO NOT expect policies and procedures to enact themselves Provide checklists, aids, tools, pocket guides at point of care Integrate actions into daily care routines Documenting does not equal doing Legitimise actions as mainstream care Full support from line managers Support from educated family/carers Adequate training and resources Expectation that, having identified high risk patients, prescribed actions must follow
27 Enable Dykes et al JAMA 2010
28 Enable Barker et al Inj Prev 2011
29 Single person accountability Enforce Falls risk assessment repeated on each shift Communicate falls status to incoming shifts Audits to ensure prescribed actions are occurring Corrective strategies if not Ongoing regular feedback of falls/fall injury event data from incident reports, nursing notes, admin data, discharge summaries Set SMART targets Rewards/recognition for good results Support and mentoring for not so good results
